Rain delays play at Wimbledon

Wet weather at Wimbledon has forced a delay to Australian young gun Nick Kyrgios' bid to reach the fourth round.

Rain has delayed the start of play on day six of Wimbledon.

Australian teenager Nick Kyrgios is due first-up on court 17 against unseeded Czech Jiri Vesely in a third-round match.

Spells of light rain throughout Saturday morning meant the covers remained on the outside courts, with wet weather forecast to continue throughout the day.
